Nestled in the heart of the Ozarks, Hollister Missouri is a small, rural town just minutes away from one of the busiest tourist hotspots in the Midwest and three of the most popular fishing destinations in the country.

Fishermen flock to this “Tri-Lakes” region for the trout, bass, and other fish that populate the cold-water fisheries of Lake Taneycomo, Table Rock Lake, and Bull Shoals. Table Rock State Park has a marina with boat rentals, scuba diving, swimming, parasailing, hiking, canoeing, and camping.

Like many small towns, Hollister is big on tradition, holding many festivals and events, including the annual Grape & Fall Festival. Stomp grapes, eat, enjoy live entertainment, and shop the arts and crafts show.

The tourist and casino haven of Branson and the major metro downtown of Springfield are both just minutes away, making the peaceful little town of Hollister a great “home base” for rental apartments.
